July 24, 2004
HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, Attorney Jason Abraham, Tony Sanfelipo, Teena Abraham and Suzanne and Michael Hupy attended the dinner after the Governor's ride in Madison, WI on July 24, 2004, at Capital City Harley.
Ever since the beginning, Michael F. Hupy & Associates, S.C., has supported the Tommy Thompson Governor’s Ride. That support came in the way of providing the Head Road Captain for the ride, and since the second ride on, the t-shirts for the Road Guards.
Michael Hupy has allowed Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo, an accident investigator for the firm since 1992, to take time away from work to act as Head Road Captain for this special ride. Tony hand picked the various Road Guards and medical personnel who work with him, and the law firm pays for the t-shirts for all the volunteers.
2004 marked the 10th Annual Governor’s Ride, and Tommy Thompson, now Secretary of Health and Human Services, came back to Wisconsin from Washington, D.C., to join the ride again. Thompson hasn’t missed a ride yet, although his duties in Washington have prevented him from doing the entire ride this year and last. Thompson personally thanked Tony for his help in organizing and providing security for all the riders for the past ten years. He did this at the 5th Annual Biker’s Ball, a tradition marking the last day of the Governor’s Ride. The Biker’s Ball is presented by Jerry and Kathy Weiner, two wonderful and generous friends of Tommy Thompson who met him on one of the early rides, and have been coming back and sponsoring the ball every year.
The Governor’s Ride joined the Women in Motion Ride for the second year in a row, to benefit Accident Scene Management. This year’s party was at the ending location, the beautiful Capitol City Harley-Davidson, in Madison, Wisconsin. Owner, Bob Oyler, provided his spacious second floor ballroom at the dealership for the festivities. Secretary Thompson spent a considerable amount of time walking around and greeting people in attendance. He took special time to talk to Attorney Michael Hupy and his partner, Jason Abraham, and their wives, Susanne and Tina.
Among those on the ride were State Senators Dave Zien, Mary Lazich, Scott Fitzgerald and State Representative Dan Vrakas.
Next year’s ride is already being planned to travel to South Dakota, and in 2006, plans are being made to visit Manhattan and upstate New York.
